Your Containment 2024
By Lisa Stonham
Artist Bio
Lisa Stonham is a multi-disciplinary artist whose practice is driven by photography, leading to the creation of two- and three-dimensional works that explore space, light, and time. Her work extends the boundaries of photography into physical space through experimentation with surface, volume, and reflection. By working across photography, sculpture, video, and installation, she seeks to erase the distinctions between mediums, shifting the focus from singular objects to relational experiences. Stonham's art invites viewers to engage with the present moment, challenging them to reconsider their perceptions of reality and self within physical, architectural, and internal psychological spaces.
 
 The artist has been widely featured in both solo and group exhibitions nationally, and has been a finalist in numerous prestigious awards, including the Fisher’s Ghost Art Award, Ravenswood Australian Women’s Art Prize, and Sunshine Coast Art Prize, winning the 2024 Contemporary Landscape in Photography Award at the Perth Centre for Photography.
